From the #foundobjects collected and given me by brother in law #unclejimology , a deep connection emerged from #creativeprocess I’ve been researching data to assemble the storied lives of my namesake Grandmother. With this mindfulness emerged this piece from what others considered trash. My Grandmother Angeline was tough. She was broken. She was sophisticated. She was inventive. She was strong. She taught me how to make and pronounce #gnocchi — no ‘g’ , add a ‘y’ after the ‘n’ , the ‘h’ is a ‘k’ and stressed, the ‘i’ is optional. #art #soulart #sacredart #artaltars #assemblage #studio #placemaking #divignthinking #outsiderart #insideactivities

This is a box of Found Things — treasures collected over weeks and months by my brother in law-ish, #unclejimology. Jim is a studied and curious hometown historian of local lore and loot. Jim gifted me this extensive collection of #foundthings over a year ago. I was overwhelmed with a feeling that I did not deserve this gift and it was a great responsibility. Today is the first day i begin exploring and arranging to record the sacred text. It will happen. It always does. #creativeprocess #spiritualpractice #foundart #artdepartment #placemaking #

Over the past year and a half only, i’ve gotten used to needing to go and be outside every day, no matter what. But now all I feel is spitting sharo wind and chalk board ice growths on sidewalks. I don’t want to be in the way of traffic. And so I stay in home for now. I’m taking on a project In the basement. This will help with hibernation. I emptied a wall. Composing has begun for next cathedral of art, things, and the meaning. 4’ x 4’ shelf unit. Laminate. Stay to hear more. #emptyshelves #altarart #sacredart #creativeprocess #placemaking #divignthinking #foundart
